0:04.7	Ezekiel chapter 20 verse 9. God says, but I acted for the sake of my name
0:16.3	that it should not be profamed in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, in whose sight I had made myself known to them and bringing them out of the land of Egypt.
0:25.0	So let me read the first part of that verse again
